Abstract:Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a way to determine the distance to their host galaxies thanks to the nearly universal shape of the luminosity function (PNLF). Accurate PNe distance measurements rely on obtaining well- sampled PNLFs and the number of observed PNe scales with the encompassed stellar mass. This means either disposing of wide-field observations or on focusing on the bright central regions of galaxies. In this work we take this second approach and conduct a census of the PNe population in the central regions of galaxies in the Fornax cluster, using VLT/MUSE data for the early- type galaxies observed over the course of the Fornax3D survey. Using such integral-field spectroscopic observations to carefully separate ...(more)

We present a catalogue of 1350 unique PNe sources across 21 different galaxies. The catalogue includes the PNe positions, their [OIII] 5007{AA} flux and LOSV, with the PNe population of each galaxy.
